Wow moments!!!!

So I've decide to try some of my old clothes and shirts wow wow I was able to wear some of my clothes that months ago they didn't fit :wink:. Ok now I need to get jeans and pants and shirts, so I've decided to go to the mall and go to the plus size store like I usually do but something inside of me said not to and go to a regular / normal store. ( I don't know what to call it since I was always going to plus size stores) So I tried some shirts and pants and was having so many many WOW moments :e

I have my doctors appointment this week and we'll see what the doctors say. I also don't think I've lost

3/5/09

(I need to blog and get up to date) So I started my 2 week clear liquid diet and its hard. The first 3 days were the hardest but you have to keep in mind that you need to do this in order for surgery to go smooth and have little complications. Its hard but I made my own broths of chicken and beef, I ate sf popsicles but I got bored :thumbup: so I got fresh lime and added it to my broths to change the flavors and it made a difference Positive attitude and support makes a big difference.
